rm- It's raining.
- I'm about to have what I'm going to have to start terming a "Ianto day" -- i.e., solving lots of weird problems that surely someone must have the expertise to deal with, but lacking that information, it's probably just more efficient for me to deal with it myself.
- Oh I do love when people from London call, and they have to spell things. I'm not really a huge accent whore, but it's so cute when they say "zed."
- If I am v. v. lucky, I may make it to fencing again tomorrow. I am really happy with it again. Maybe I just needed to be praised for not loving it so purely anymore.
- Now it's lightning.
- My father managed at home alone yesterday, my mother says, although she had to make all his meals and so forth before she left for work. They are going to the internist today, and hopefully some of the issues, like the medication that essentially makes him unable to remain awake, will get resolved.
- Reading Almost Perfect. It's pretty delightful. Patty, reading over my shoulder, said "I've read that on fanfiction.net!" Speaking of fanfiction -- the first chapter is "Five Rare Times That Ianto Jones Swears" -- geez, that format is in the tie-in novels now? Seriously. Also, must resist temptation to read funny bits aloud to Patty -- not only is it not her fandom, the world doesn't need to give me excuses to do the Jack voice.
- OMG, the election is making me So Tense. So Tense. We've been invited to an election night party I hope we make, but I'm all verklempt, knowing, somehow, I'm likely to cry no matter how it turns out. Politics will break your heart, and I'm not ready.
- Kali heads to Chicago this week to give a DW-related paper. Eventhough it will be cold and vile there, I hope I can convince her to visit Millenium Park, since it speaks so loud to me, and is totally where and how I learned how to write about Jack's childhood.
- So few people are as happy as you think they are.
- I have a lot of emails to catch up on.
- Oh London, call me again!

If I get a hot blonde of my own, however, it'll be worth it!
(you lucky bastard)
